Earl, do you like Phil Collins? I do. my favorite song is 'tonight, tonight, tonight...

More appropriately, "something's in the AIR tonight" !!!:hurah: :hurah: :hurah:

I do enjoy Phil...

But I prefer the West Side Story version of Tonight...

I predict that we'll have the following:

DirecTV Software Release 0xYM (that's right, this release is so great that they had to move to a base-34 numbering scheme to account for it... or maybe the YM stands for 'yo mama')

New Features:
-OTA is enabled for all markets simultaneously

-All locals are available to all markets (who cares about the FCC, they don't control space, WE control space)

-7 HD, 25 SD, and 144 OTA buffers all active at the same time

-All menus in 1080p

-New anti-hater technology can detect rants a mile away and can zap the offender with a blinding blue ray of death (yep, that's what the LEDs are for)

-Totally open-source, easily modified. All video available to transfer to PCs immediately (who cares about those pansies at the MPAA and RIAA)

-New MPEG-12 technology allows for 750 hours of HD on the current hardware

-super, nuclear-launch-facility-quality reliability

-ability to go back in time and record items you forgot to schedule

Also a small, St. Christopher-type statue of Earl will be sent to the user upon request.

...and I guarantee there will still be complainers.

<<obviously, do not bother telling me why this is impossible>>

Yeah, I'll guess you'll have to console yuorself with all those Red Wings, Tigers, and Pistons championships, just like the whiner Red Sox fans had to live with only a few dozen compbined Patriots and Celtics trophies.

Try no championships since 1964 in all major sports for the whole city of Cleveland.

Is that why every Ohio'er loves the Buckeyes?

Go Gators!

LOL... On a more serious note, do you know if they've addressed the Autorecord stability issue in this (or an upcoming) release? Or can you at least state if it will be divulged (either way) in the release notes, once available? I just set up my first Autorecord, and am having second thoughts...

EDIT: Ahhh, disregard...I see now in your last post in that thread that it was addressed already. Nevermind!

I don`t know if you remember the band- Atlanta Rhythum Section but one of their songs was "I`m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonght" and one of the lines was
Tomorrow I Might Go As Far As Suicide But I`m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonght.
please D* help me soon

So there are smart ones in Ohio!

The minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light . . .
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!

LOL

Hilarious!

Good find! I like it.

No idea... my guess is that some time next year, there will have to be a re-write, as there will be so many "additional" things you can do with the HR20, that are not covered in the manual.

There are numerous things you can do since the first release that are not in the manual. Skip to tick, skip to end, setting default record options, etc. I really think D* wrote the manual to make us think all of these were "unofficial" features like the TIVO 30 sec skip.

 

[Earl Bonovich]

Don't you all have something better to do?

 

[911medic]

Gotta half hour til the kids get home from school...so, nope!

 

[Canis Lupus]

Nope. Waiting for about 72 full screen graphics to render in AfterEffects.


FYI - This line is probably the most well known from that song. When it slows down and Tony is dreaming of his meeting with Maria:

"Tonight, tonight,
Won't be just any night, ..."

I understand your pain. But what else does Detroit have going for it other than its sports teams?

At least you guys get the rock n roll hall of fame.

SSSHHHH.. others think I'm working.

 

[Tom Robertson]

Don't you all have something better to do?

Great Granddaughter is taking nap, so nope.

Reminds me of Guys and Dolls, so....before we have to tell someone Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat, I can only hope that Luck Be a Lady Tonight.

Cheers,
Tom
